GAME DEVELOPER WORKSHOP
Game Developer Workshop Level 1 is an educational, live-online coding program that will give your kids the coding knowledge, skills and confidence they need in order to thrive in today's digital world.
First in a series of online coding workshops for kids to become entrepreneurs
Date | March 8 - April 9
1 hr classes, once a week during evenings or weekends for 5 weeks
How it Works
The workshop includes live instruction from Hopscotch instructors who will guide students through building their first game using Hopscotch.
Kids will learn about design thinking by creating characters with unique personalities and stories they can bring to life on screen through animation & sound effects.
Meet with the instructor and classmates for an hour-long coding session each week.
Complete assignments between live classes each week with the help of additional instructional videos.
Work individually on their own project and get personalized help from instructors when they get stuck.
Publish a unique game and present it to friends and family at the end of the workshop.
Your KIDS GET INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION FROM instructors
INTERACTIVE LIVE CLASSES
Kids can follow along with the instructors and easily get help if they are stuck. Your kids will feel comfortable and confident as they progress through their game project.
SMALL CLASS GROUPS
Your kid will get plenty of attention from the instructors during class hours to progress through their game project as the workshops have a maximum of 7 kids grouped by their grade levels. For example, all kids in grade 4-5 will be in group 1 and in grade 6-8 will be in group 2.
Structured and comprehensive curriculum
INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH
The curriculum has been carefully designed to allow for individual advancement and growth in a way which is best suited just for your kids! Your kids can learn at their own pace and learning style.
HANDS-ON PROJECT FOCUSED LEARNING
During the workshop your kid will design, build and publish their own game from scratch. In addition to coding, kids will pick up valuable skills in writing, design, art, maths, science, presentation skills etc..
PROGRESS TRACKING
Your kid’s progress in understanding and applying key concepts from the class will be closely monitored by the instructor. Should your kid get stuck, the instructor will be able to offer extra help/ feedback right away.

EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITY FOR WORKSHOP GROUPS
Your kid will have access to the group’s private community via discord to show off their game, discuss course work, ask questions and get useful answers right away. We have seen our past attendees motivate, help, learn from each other and make lasting friendships.
GRADUATION CEREMONY AND COURSE CERTIFICATION
Kids can invite their friends and family to their graduation ceremony at the end of the workshop, where they get to present their game.
Your kid will receive a certification of completion from Hopscotch which unlocks advanced features that allows them to earn in-game currency through their game.
HOPSCOTCH PRO SUBSCRIPTION
Your kid will get their own Hopscotch Pro subscription for the duration of the workshop so he/she has unlimited access to our coding platform and unlock advanced features like
adding custom avatars, photos and drawings to their projects
intro scenes, game scoring, premium music etc..
